RE: [DML] Master Cylinder Leak



I just replaced mine.
Just suck it up, plop down the $250ish and get a new one.
There is apparently no rebuilding. Next stop: Clutch-cylinderville.

Subject: [DML] Master Cylinder Leak


My brake light just went on and I found that my brake fluid level was a bit
low. I could see what looked like a slightly moist "greasy dirt" all around
the area between the master cylinder and the vacuum booster.

What is the best way to investigate this leak? When I take off the
reservoir
cap to refill the master cylinder I have to bend the float because the
electrical connector is in the way. Is this normal? It seems like the
float
will brake. Is this another quirk in the DMC design or in me for not
knowing
how to do it properly?

My car always seemed to need too much brake pressure to stop and my idle is
fast and oscillates. Could I have a vacuum leak in this area?
